The food in this place is just top notch πŸ‘ŒπŸ»First of all, let me just say that when I took the first bite of the Sticky Tamarind Chicken, it felt like glitters popped in my mouth. As full as I got, I could not stop eating it! Everything was so delicious, I had to take the rest home!The ambiance was so lovely, the music wasnt too loud and they played some good beats. We also received 4 tokens to play on the claw machine to try and win their signature stuffed toy! They have sanitizers at every table and we werent seated next to anyone either. The new extension leaves space for guests who want to eat there.I love the people working there too. This is a family-owned business who have worked hard to get to this point and they have done an incredible job keeping their late mothers biggest dream alive. Please support them in keeping this concept of home-cooked meals by Mama going! πŸ’›

Maybe the best in Dubai. Tried around ten dishes and every one was divine. It’s evident they take care of cleanliness, and focus on quality and flavor. Each dish is well balanced and they provide toppings which you can add to taste. Good portions. Must try their mango sticky rice.

We ordered the Tom yum fried rice and pad Thai and they were both good I wouldn’t call it authentic Thai food but it wasn’t horrible. The pad Thai was very very salty but other than that it was good and the fried rice was good but if u can’t handle spicy food don’t get it. What’s sad is the food was better when it was dine in it felt more fresh so I hope they will be welcoming customers for dine in soon

Awesome!!!! Finally I have found great Thai food in Dubai.Thank you Thank you Thank you.Great tastes. Portions!!!!! Well my green chicken curry was enough to feed three. so thats dinner taken care of for the next three days.Price might seem high against one or two other fast food Asian delivery places, but believe me the quality and portion size translates to absolute value for money.

My first authentic Thai food experience. Came here for the rubber ducks. The place is cozy with only 5 tables so its better to call beforehand. Loved the tom yum soup and the sun dried meat.The sticky mango dessert was really tasty it comes with coconut ice cream. Not a fan of ice cream but it was perfect

One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to in a very long time. Maybe the best in Dubai. Tried around ten dishes and every one was divine. It’s evident they take care of cleanliness, and focus on quality and flavor. Each dish is well balanced and they provide toppings which you can add to taste. Good portions. Must try their mango sticky rice.Editing to reply to owner β€”β€”β€”We have already tried both the mango sticky rice and the version with coconut ice cream. By far the best we have had and I have tried many and made the dish at home. The pandan infusion and crispy puffs are great touches and the coconut ice cream has so much body and flavor. 10/10. Thanks again, keep doing what you do. Ps. We went back for the sticky rice 4x in one week :D

Its a hidden gem-like Thai restaurant in Dubai. Its a Thai restaurant that children like very much. The restaurant is cute and cozy with only five tables. The food is clean and delicious as a whole But the food has a strong sweet taste. Its still delicious. Tom yum, noodle, clap, all kinds of food taste very fantastic. Its a house that people go to because its packed a lot I think Im lucky to get to know this restaurant.

Used to be the best Thai take out in Dubai. Was saddened to see the standards fall so much. Last order was almost inedible, and they were not interested in hearing genuine feedback.REVIEW UPDATE: in response to the below reply from the business, I only mentioned their mother’s passing from a place of understanding, referencing that the transition must be difficult for them and it was the very reason I took the time to go into detail of the food was so that they could take the opportunity to improve. The responses I received from their side were incredibly aggressive and rude.Keeping it empathetic and helpful was the way I approached it, but definitely not the way they chose to reply.Hoping you take the time to follow your own advice Sticky Rice team - always remember to keep it classy and respectful :)Re: the final response below. I rest my case. Keep it classy Sticky Rice - peace out!

Great to find a place with real Thai food, even Som Tam Pa La which you cannot easily find outside Thailand. Spicy choices not for the feint hearted!

Review β„–12

This unique hidden gem is a must visit!The food was superb/exquisite/amazing !! (trying to find the best word to explain how good the food was but no single adjective came close).The place is not fancy and there are very limited seats. The (very) small shops lack of ambiance and views is compensated with quirky and charming decorations (but most importantly the food!)The staff were very kind, though being packed did cause some slight delays in the service.I would have given it a 4 star review due to the lack of atmosphere/views, slight delays in service, and convenience of location etc. But the food was beyond what was expected and more!Definitely would visit again. Its good to eat there, have the food to go, or just get something sweet with family.πŸ₯πŸ’›

I myself am half Thai so I know it really is hard to find the true Thai taste when outside of Thailand but honestly this new spot has me addicted!We came two nights in a row all the way from Al Nahda because it is that good!Everything on the menu is wonderful, the Thai sweets are so lovely and the people are so kind and friendly it will truly make your day!

If you’re looking for Authentic thai food. this is the best place for you. Located at JVC. this family owned and operated restaurant will not just fill your stomach but also your heart!Everything was well seasoned.. desserts are not too sweet but will still satisfy your sweet tooth!***prepare to wait for 30-40 mins as their kitchen is always busy with orders for pick up*** call before you come and order in advance so you’ll wait for less time...don’t lose your cool when waiting because it’s definitely worth the wait ❀️❀️❀️

Sticky Rice -BONA FIED THAI- very well thought and true to its name.Truly a HIDDEN gem of dubai. Stumbled upon the place while looking for Asian Restaurants in dubai online. Every bit of its reviews are true. Being a fan of Thai cuisine I can say it’s the most authentic Thai food you can enjoy in dubai. A very small but cozy and very well decorated place with a very positive vibe, hidden somewhere in Jumeira Village Circle. The menu has been very carefully designed and I loved the selection of items on the menu. If you love Thai food every item on the menu is worth a try. 5/5 for the food, 5/5 for the staff, 3/5 for location (little to far from northern Dubai, but worth all the time and effort reaching there). With its reputation growing with every passing day it’s advisable to make a reservation before going there, otherwise it could be a little wait before they could sit you. I would Love to personally meet the owner of the place β€œMAMA” and thank her for bringing best of Thai food to Dubai. Wish them all the best and prosperity.*Jenny and Riya are very polite and accommodating.

This place is known to be one of the best Thai restaurants in Dubai and we ordered the food from here for delivery. And I can say that it really is. All the Thai food which we can enjoy here is very genuinely Thai. I loved the green curry here!

One of my favorite Dubai hidden gems. Family owned cute little place, they have opened recently few months back with Mamas’s very inspiring story add everything on your must try , the famous Tom yum & mama’s signature dumplings oh the clams sauce was so unique not to be missed. Of course finish off your meal with their yummy mango sticky rice.

Review β„–25

Still one of the best, most delicious Thai restaurants in town. Casual dining spot (this one is just takeaway and delivery I believe). Impressive that it has both a full vegan and meat/seafood menu which offers a lot of choice and variety to customers. The sticky chicken tenders, fragrant clams, larb salads, sticky chicken wings and pad thai are some of the best I have had in Dubai. The team here churn out delicious food and deserve our support.

Best Restaurant and Thai restaurant in JVC hands down! There is only 5/6 tables inside, small seating area, indoor only. There is no outdoor area.I opted for take-out, instead of eat-in. The food preparation took about 30 mins, from phone-order acknowledgment. They have Vegan options, and its delicious. They packaged the food well.Hainam Chicken rice - its good with room of improvement for the rice for a stronger taste. Its bland for my Asian tastebud. My kids like the rice. The best so far is the Green curry vegan, its superb.Do note on Fridays, the restaurant has a break from 5-6 pm.Highly recommended!

Review β„–29

It was great experience trying another Thai food. My first was in little Bangkok. Sticky Rice food taste just right. I didnt take much photos of the food, because I got busy eating πŸ˜… but trust me! If you will go there. You are going to fall in love with the taste. This is my honest opinion about it as a restaurant. Still the space is too small and it is a soft opening and call them before you go there, cause they close early at sometimes. As early as 7pm. Hopefully, they will expand or open in a bigger space.

Review β„–33

Size doesnt matter - It is little tiny Thai Restaurant located in Jumeirah Village. Trust me; Taste of food they serve will bring you from any part of Emirates, not only Dubai. They don’t take booking for the same day, you can go directly and wait for the table to clear. We waited around 40 minutes but it was worth waiting. Parking access is easy and you can find free parking around the Restaurant.It will cost average Aed 75/- to Aed 100/- a meal per person. We order Popia Tohd, Som Tum Pak , Pad Thai Pak , Kafae Yen – All food was super great, fresh and presentation was 5 Star standard. In drinks; I love their Cold Thai Coffee – must try for all coffee lovers.Service staff is full of energy and managing all guests needs from dine-in guests and walk-in pick-up orders takers guest.I missed having my favorite Sticky rice with Mango desert which only available during Thai Mango season.Overall; it was one of kind experience and Restaurant ambiance also nicely maintained.

Review β„–35

So far Ive only tried the Mango Sticky Rice and I would go here even if its just for that. You can call in advance for your order but i just went and ordered from there. You do have to wait out since theyre still closed due to Coronavirus, its around a 15min wait so I would recommend just calling in advance. But TRY the Mango Sticky Rice. 1 order is good for 2 people in my opinion

Really love the food here! Portions are big enough to share, presentation is devine, decor in the little restaurant is bright and playful. Had the Thai Iced Tea, it was sweet and refreshing with every sip. Enjoyed Mamas Chicken-filled pastry. Also had the Colourful Sweet Potato balls dessert in bowl of warm Coconut milk and Coconut shavings, this was unbelievably creamy and absolutly delicious! Loved every bite of it! Yum

Went there only to realise that they are not open for dine-in. Then trying to order directly at the door, but that was only possible with cash. For payment by card, we had to log on to ther website to order...then they told us it would take 45min before we would get the food....and we only wanted a portion of sticky rice with mango (aed 42)!?? We gave up....sorry cant comment on the quality of the food.

We are in complete love with this authentic Thai place. Little did i know when i visited this cute place that my experience is going to be this amazing. Visited here for lunch and this is what we triedSalad- Som tum pu pla la- Thai papaya salad with crab, fish,beans, peanutsKhoa Mun Kal -Steamed chicken with fragrant garlic rice served with chicken broth soupNeua Dat Deaw- sun dried beef served with sticky riceKal Tod Kateim-crispy golden fried garlic chicken with sticky riceDrinks -Iced tea with coconut milk and off course loads of water as we couldnt stop relishing that spicy sauces !Dessert -Khao Neaw Mamuang- fresh mangoes coated with cocunut milk with sweet sticky riceEverything we tried was exceptionally good , so very authentic taste . But what we loved the most was Khoa Mun Kal and Kal Tod Kateim. The fragrant garlic rice served in Khoa Mun Kal was lipsmackingly delicious and the steamed chicken was flavorable too . Loved that simple fresh chicken broth just with some coriander leaves . Loved the Iced tea with coconut milk so very refreshing and the dessert is my all time favorite fresh mangoes with sweet sticky rice that was a delight every bite.Nestled in Jumeirah village circle , this place is not hard to find ...Watch out for the cute duck painted at the entrance door and as you get in you would see the place filled with dozens of cute little ducks .....wanna know more about that why ...i think its good to hear from the family there who would tell you the beautiful thought behind it over a yummy lunch/dinner. Yes its a family managed business and you will find this cute team full of life , ready to suggest and serve with a big smile . I sum it up to say a must try place ....lovely food served with love in a lovely cute place !

Review β„–44

Very authentic Thai food. I would definitely come back for more. But they need whole lot of improvement on their service. There are delays on service and not much of attention on customer’s need. We had to wait for our water to be served at least 20mins and more than half an hour for our ice-cream which we had to cancel at the end. There was no apology for the delay. If they can work on their service then this place is perfect.

Good new family-run Thai restaurant in JVC. The larb and khao man gai was spot on. Prices were reasonable with most dishes being in the 45-55 AED range. The coconut ice cream is more like soft-serve but smooth and tasty. Well worth the 15-min drive from Dubai Marina.

Small place but serves fabulous food. We had pad thai, som tam (we had double portion! That good!), crispy omelete, the coconut milk tom yum and the gorgeous mango sticky rice AND mango sticky rice ice cream! All very very good and trust us, we do know our thai food 😁 Price is not cheap but not too steep either. Average AED 50 per dish. Again, its a small place.

Very tasty food, authentic Thai flavors. The flavor pallet combinations are in very good proportion, so not too sweet, not too sour, just the right amount of everything. The variety on the menu is to cater to different tastes. Their passion for food is clearly to be noticed in everything! And last but not least, the deserts are OUT OF THIS WORLD! A place I’ll go back very often and I’m very critical usually!

I just called restaurant and two ladies on the phone are not able to provide good customer service ! They made me repeat my order taking to two people ! They told me coz it’s Friday we can’t promise you soup will be ready as we are very busy with customers ! Well I am also a customer and had a simple question - what time can I come pick it up and collect ?!?!? Not only they don’t do delivery in their own neighborhood JVC , they also are not able to answer simple question on the phone and treat you as a customer when you call them saying everyone else is a priority. when they just opened a year ago we were there at the opening with excellent service and excellent food . One year later , excellent food, nasty service because of the attitude of staff !

If you want value for money and authentic Thai food.. This is your spot.Im in love with the Thai curry, and if you think youve had the best elsewhere.. Oh, just try this. Loved the abundance of baby eggplant in there. Mild was too spicy for me but I enjoyed every bit of it.The venue is nice a cozy, just a few tables in. Does get a bit loud with ongoing conversations at each table.. but that itself adds to the experience.Cant wait to try other items on the menu.

Best Thai food place I have been to in Dubai. Authentic home cooked style Thai food. Spicy as hell. Soup is a must try. But it is a small cosy place. High chances of being turned away if the place is full. Best is to head there with a group and get a reservation. Do try the mango sticky rice dessert.

Review β„–99

By far one of the best places to eat Thai food in Dubai. My personal preference is the Tom yum Khap and the fried dumplings. It is a tiny setup and if you plan to dine in, the place fills up quickly as it is very small. So plan to go exactly at the opening time not later. And dont let the size of the place fool you. Try the coconut jelly for dessert.

Great to see a quality restaurant like this in JVC. The food is delicious and authentic; I can strongly recommend the Tom Yum Soup, Green Curry and Mango ice cream. Heads up - the food is served at different times (such as restaurants like Wagamama). The restaurant is tiny, yet quirky and can sit around 15 people.Definitely worth the visit.
